Cambridge Memorial Hospital

Tri Valley Health System has been featured in the Wall Street Journal for its forward-thinking continuum of integrated care. Their regional clinics, senior housing, wellness center, assisted living center, nursing home and hospital serve 12,185 residents in south central Nebraska.

After facility-related medical errors and a patient room fire due to an aged electrical system, the board embarked on a replacement. They conducted a market needs assessment, strategized to capture out migrating care and sized their facility to a sustainable operation.

The new hospital links through a wellness center and dining remodel of the former hospital to their nursing home. Outpatient services are enhanced with a two operating rooms; imaging services featuring a 64 slice CT, X-ray, ultra sound, mammography, and dexa scan; two trauma rooms; emergency department with two exam rooms; physical, cardiac and respiratory therapy; lab; single occupancy inpatient rooms; and OB department. Since its opening in October 2010, utilization and profitability has been at a record pace.
